<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As discussed, the Staff Support Team has prepared a first draft of the Final Report for your review (see
<a href="https://drive.google.com/a/icann.org/file/d/1E6W-daNTaadOhG5BRlzNJQbrT9MSoKDn/view?usp=sharing">
https://drive.google.com/a/icann.org/file/d/1E6W-daNTaadOhG5BRlzNJQbrT9MSoKDn/view?usp=sharing</a>]. In addition to the administrative updates to reflect that this is the Final Report, a new section has been added concerning the public comment period on the
Initial Report. Furthermore, following the outcomes of the Toronto F2F meeting, the relevant recommendations and other sections of the report have been updated to reflect:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

these as part of the relevant agenda items for upcoming meetings)<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Highlighted in yellow – updates to be made following review of language to reflect the approach that has been in principle agreed by the EPDP Team<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left:0in;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Other redline changes – intended to clarify and/or address input provided by the EPDP Team during its deliberations<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Similar to how this was done for the Initial Report, you are requested to provide your group’s input via the following google document (see
<a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sVZ9odV0qK1Bk8a4bDwWe5RW_PBzOnYBhHW_GnLL8jw/edit?usp=sharing">
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sVZ9odV0qK1Bk8a4bDwWe5RW_PBzOnYBhHW_GnLL8jw/edit?usp=sharing</a>). Please refrain from proposing edits to the sections highlighted in green as the current wording reflects in certain cases a carefully crafted compromise.
Any changes in relation to these sections will need to go back to the full EPDP Team review. For other sections, minor updates / corrections will be applied by staff. Any substantive changes / edits will be brought back to the EPDP Team for consideration.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As discussed in Toronto, the audience for this report is the GNSO Council and subsequently the ICANN Board, so please keep this in mind as you consider possible structural changes to the report. As you are
also aware, there are a number of elements that are required to be included in the Final Report (whether it is in the body of the report, an annex or by reference). As also discussed, following publication of the Final Report, the EPDP Team may want to consider
whether it would be helpful to produce a summary version that would be specifically intended for external audiences?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Please commence your review as soon as possible.
